The saline flow flushes out mucus and irritants to help treat allergies, sinus infections, the common cold, and various other nasal or sinus conditions. Usage seems to be safe for most people, but you should talk to your healthcare provider before using this device if you get frequent nosebleeds or have a medical condition affecting the nose or sinuses.
